Fault 04807 and EGR :/

[simonnwt6]

So had the dreaded EML and Carista says P0401
2016 102. Euro5 55k. Pendle map. Always use vpo

Anyone know what 04807 is though?
See a lot of post people saying cleared code etc…
Got 120 mile trip this weekend and unsure what to do. Can’t get it even seen till week after. Obv then due to go on holiday in it. Had to happen now after not using much for a year! :/



Bit more info

My van has this fault, had it cleared then came on after 20miles. Went off itself for about 200miles then back on and hasn't gone off again. Going to take the plunge and get the egr changed out. You should be fine for your 120mile round trip

Thanks. Booked in Fri for diag. Few places said don’t drive could wreck engine.
Prob if the EGR cooler leaks maybe.
Another said prob the dpf.
Could be whole host of things I suppose.
I could clear and see if comes back before fri but if it doesn’t the garage will struggle to find the issue maybe… ho hum!

Old thread but someone might find this tip useful.
If this is your EGR unit? Don't panic.
Your engine isn't going to blow up, it could just mean the valve in the EGR isn't closing properly and so the error pops up.
It could be a little soot or something causing it not to close properly

I've been running my van with this code for 5 years and it comes and goes depending on quality of fuel I use and whether or not I use an additive.

Dont catastrophe every little dash light. But its worth getting it checked out.
